Medieval Castle (release 5)

   (6 reviews)

About This File

Yet another medieval/castle type level. Quite a small level, which started as an experiment to show off my new flaming torch graphics. You must infiltrate the castle (which is obviously infested with monsters), and escape using the boat in the boathouse at the rear. Note that due to restrictions in Doom (rather than my imagination!), not all the castle may be explored. In other words, not all doors may be opened. As usual with my WADs, Ultra-violence is pretty tough going, and only recommended for veterans. Deathmatch was tested with 2 players (lots of sniping). Cooperative play is untested. This file was originally distributed (via my web site) as CASTLE.WAD but later renamed to avoid conflicting with another file in the idgames archive. It is NOT related to the deathmatch map named CASTLE3.WAD.

Quite short map. Architecture: simple, just a very small castle, nothing special. Monster placement is not very good. Secrets are not worth the name. Gameplay: not really fun, and absolutely no challenge @ UV. Sorry, I just didn't like it in almost any aspect: 2/5.

Short, decent lighting, and alright design. Not very bad enemy placement, but not great. I did get a bit of a laugh at the Baron's placement, simply because I ran past him and was killed a few seconds later. Overall, not bad. The length could have been better, but, it was fine, none-the-less. 3-5 - K12

      I genuinely enjoyed this mod with its level design and music. It was challenging and interesting and it kept me playing a while after beating it to try to find anything. though I would say it was slightly repetitive and overwhelming with enemies at some moments.

      Writing a review for Darkening 2 is tough. It's a beloved megawad, and for good reason. As many other reviewers have said, it is historically a very important project.   It was an important megawad for me personally. I fell in love with the first level in particular. The music, the realistic architecture, so reminiscent of the video games of the 90s... It all left a lasting impression. And it was one of the most beautiful wads I've seen at the time.   But I rarely played anyt

      A competently made map, for sure, but fun? It's way too long and repetitive, with same-y combat & ambush scenarios used again and again, and with way too much enemies, and not that much of a challenge, even for me who isn't exactly fond of "SUPER HARD WAD #9263!!!!11!. You can cut the whole thing in half, and then cut THAT half in half, and it would be a better map. Is it bad? No, just a little bit above average, mostly because it drags a bit too long.

      Generally good map design, but the difficulty as is the case with pwads tends to be uneven even on HMP, especially when you mix them with what slaughtermaps tend to be (monster spam). Too many parts where, after pressing a switch, you'll spend some time killing enemies only to realise the map maker tried to get cute and spawned a bunch of hidden archviles somewhere to start reviving everyone while you were busy wasting ammo. This is especially unfun in parts with very little cover where you'll b

      I like the part where I pay for the numerous murders I committed by getting beaten up by either a Mancubus or an Arachnotron, it changed my outlook on Monster Priority. Thank you "Problematic" Revenant #7, I have yet to find a way to repay him.
